On Tuesday, June 16th, at 6:30 p.m. we will be meeting to discuss Kate Meader, a novel by Deborah Gould.

Kate Meader has had her share of hard times.

The deaths of both her young son and her husband during the Civil War years left her struggling in the aftermath of loss.

She eventually finds stability and purpose when she accepts the position of live-in cook at the almshouse in Gardiner, Maine. Here she feeds the homeless residents of the city—the poor, the infirm, the defective.

The “rabble,” as she first thinks of them.

Then in January of 1900, a new inmate appears at the city farm, a Civil War veteran named Nicholas Dale, and Kate’s life takes a turn.
